The dragon snake guitar

After becoming disappointed with the sound of his old Destroyer, mostly due to the removal of a good portion of the body behind the bridge, Eddie wanted to make a new one for himself. So, he went to Charvel and ordered parts that resembled an Ibanez Destroyer, and assembled the guitar himself.

Not long after that, he got bored of the guitar and sent it out to a friend of his, Julian F. Sterry, who carved out the body to feature a dragon biting a snake. From that point on, the guitar became known as the “Dragon Snake”...

EVH has updated its MIJ Series with the Signature Wolfgang electric guitar – a model that finds itself between the premium USA and affordable Mexican-made iterations of the Wolfgang template.

But this version of Eddie Van Halen's signature guitar is not only notable for its middle-ground price bracket and its faithful spec sheet – its Japanese origins are also significant.

Japan is, after all, a country whose guitar-building exploits are closely linked with Eddie Van Halen, who throughout his career played numerous models that were built in the Fujigen factory.

Examples of Van Halen's own assortment of Japanese-built guitars include his bolt-on Flying V and lbanez destroyer, as well as an assortment of Japanese Strats.

This MIJ Wolfgang, then, takes on an even greater layer of meaning for Van Halen fans.

Arriving in the same classic Ivory and Stealth Black colorways found on the USA Edward Van Halen Signature, the MIJ model also features an identical basswood body with Big Leaf maple top, as well as a bolt-on quartersawn maple neck.

The neck profile, as was the case with the USA six-strings, has been crafted to Van Halen’s exacting specifications, and is complemented with a 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard that flashes 22 stainless steel frets.

It’s worth noting the Stealth Black version is adorned with pearloid dot inlays, while the Ivory variant opts for pearloid block inlays.

Other direct similarities to the top-of-the-line Wolfgang include the EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo with EVH D-Tuna, R2 locking nut, heel-mount truss rod wheel and 25.5” scale length.

In the electronics department, EVH Wolfgang Alnico 2 bridge and Alnico 3 neck humbuckers are wired to a three-way toggle switch and a kill switch. The volume control features a low-friction pot and treble bleed circuit, while the tone knob has a high-friction pot to avoid accidental rolls.

The MIJ Wolfgangs have been a long time coming, after EVH co-runner Matt Bruck told Guitar World of the brand’s plans to reignite its Japanese links.

“Ed’s history with Japanese guitars predates Van Halen’s records,” Bruck said at the time. “He played a bolt-on Flying V and an Ibanez Destroyer during the club days, which were both built by Fujigen. People also don’t know that Ed did a lot of experiments on Japanese Strats before and after the first record.”

“We’re super-excited to do something with Fujigen and for the Japanese market. People in America and around the world will be able to access those models, too.”

As mentioned above, the MIJ Signature Wolfgang sits between the $4k USA model and $750 Mexican version, and will be available for $2,699.

"....OUR THOUGHT WAS TO FORM OUR OWN BAND AND SOUND LIKE THEM, BUT HEAVIER AND FASTER."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on live shots of basisst/vocalist/songwriter Tom Angelripper of Teutonic thrash metal band SODOM, during the band's "Obsessed by Cruelty" era, c. 1986. Plus the record that got it all started for them, VENOM's seminal "Welcome to Hell" (1981) debut full-length.

"...[when I heard] the first VENOM record. Everything changed [for me]. It was the heaviest thing that I’d ever heard. And our thought was to form our own band and sound like them, but heavier and faster, and we called it witching metal. I like the songs and, you know, the drummer is out of time, but it works. I can’t explain it, I guess it’s because it’s not highly polished and perfect, and that’s the thing with SODOM; we’re a street band in that respect, but it’s not just the music, it’s also the photos, the cover and everything."

-- TOM ANGELRIPPER (bassist/vocalist/founder/songwriter of SODOM) to Iron Fist Zine, "SODOM Interview: “We Stayed True to Our Spirit,” by Guy Strachan, c. August 2012

Pretty much finished restoring this 1981 Ibanez Destroyer II with a little bit of a style change. Just a couple of things I want to tweak!
